Suggestions on LED for my Biocube

[ruha456]

Just purchased a 29Gal Biocube I'm looking for suggestions on LED lights to either mod on my canopy or a set I can use without the canopy any suggestions or advice is welcome. Also if anyone can point out some good vendors id like lights to keep corals, rbta and pair of clowns.

I have an Aquapod 24 gallon with a glass top. I got an DIY LED light from MR. It is 12x7 inches and my LPS love it. It has24 3w cre lights. I used to have 98w of T5 so the LED is like having 140w. It does not look as nice as the pro ones but it works great. If you are a DIY person I would go that route.

If you can spend the money I have a ecotech radion over my biocube and its amazing!!

Do an ai nano or sol blue, don't waste the money on a radion. (yes I used to own one and speak from experience)

And..... I have one on mine and I can't find anything negative to say Brando? It is by no way a waste if u have the extra cash.......

 

[Jay6363]

And btw way the radion crushes the ai nano, but it is a nice alternative

I had one over my RSM 130 for 4 months it absolutely is a waste of money.

That's bc u has one over a 130 g? It's only rated for a 60 gal per unit maybe that's why it was a waste ...... It is superior I love it and do do my corals

 

[Brando457]

Your ignorance and assumption proves my point. An rsm 130 is 34g, of course you think it is the next best thing since slice bread. I don't blame you after paying so much, fortunately I saw the light and realized it isn't worth it when compared to the AI or other fixtures. And your next argument will be omg the reds and greens and I can program it from my computer omg. In reality those reds and greens get washed out unless you have them at 100 and the rest at 0. Programming from the computer once then never using software again omg omg. So for an extra $350 you get to say how awesome you are because its made by ecotech.

I'm done I've said my peace farewell

Lol look I'm not looking to get in a screaming match ...... I shouldn't have assumed it was a 130 g. Call me ignorant whatever.

It has nothing to do with the fact that there are red and green,oh my,it does however add to the versatility of the fixture. I'm sorry dude but rgb is nice.trust me I have programmed mine and I love it. Like you just giving my opinion.

It is a good light despite the fact u hated it. Yes it is expensive, to pricey in fact

However, as I said if this person has extra cash it's a good option. I did say ai nano was a good alternative. However, I have seen both and the radion is more powerful.... Especially for a tank that size. My sps have increased in color, polyp extension, and growth rate.... They are overall much happier. For me it's awesome.

It has nothing to do with its from ecotech blah blah blah. Bottom line!

And yes the red sea 130d is a nice tank....
